Tyson Fury could be facing further censure and another fine from the Boxing Board of Control on Wednesday night after another expletive-ridden rant on Twitter, this time aimed at Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko, against whom he made unfounded homophobic comments.

The slurs came after the former world heavyweight champion had ridiculed Fury’s suggestion that he could lure him back into the ring in an interview with Telegraph Sport.

Lewis said that in spite of being nearly twice his age he would still knock Fury out.

Fury then responded with a string of homophobic slurs and sexually-derived expletives aimed at Lewis and current world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, before venting his ire at David Haye, whom he faces on Feb 8, 2014.

“The way I look at it, Tyson Fury is just talk right now,” Lewis had told The Daily Telegraph yesterday. “He needs to prove himself as a boxer. It’s funny because all he talks is a lot of fluff."
